Objective To study the prevention action of respiratory diseases in college students, to explore the influencing factors, and to provide reasonable scientific basis for the development of health education policy. Methods Using field investigation, we conducted a questionnaire survey among students from Shandong University, Shandong Institute of Business and Technology, Binzhou Medical College, Taishan Medical College in order to analyze prevention action score of respiratory system disease and explore its influencing factors. Results Compared with non-medical students, medical students smoked less, and the difference had statistic significance(Z=-2.630, P<0.05). The constituent ratio of medical students of using computers and TV was smaller than that of non-medical students, and the difference had statistic significance (Z=-2.923, P<0.05). But the frequency of taking part in physical exercise of medical students was smaller than that of non-medical students, and the difference had statistic significance (Z=-2.961, P<0.05). Medical students who used health products or nutritional supplements were less than non-medical students (χ2=9.908, P<0.05), and a lot of students stayed up too late no matter what their majors were. Through stepwise regression analysis, prevention action score of girl students, students majored in non-medical and students having immediate family members work in medical institutions was higher, and the difference had statistic significance. Conclusion Respiratory system disease cognitive status of medical students is better than that of ordinary students, but perhaps due to more courses and pressure, their action performance is insufficient, so the school still need to strengthen health education of the respiratory system disease for ordinary students through various channels.
